Meet Our Staff
Pastor Rob
Rev. Rob Warren
Pastor Rob has been the pastor of First Presbyterian Church since December of 2020. In that time we have seen worship move from on-line to in-person. We have also moved some of our educational offerings to on-line only (book clubs) and returned to a Wednesday Night bible study (food and fellowship). In-person visits have resumed as well.
Rob is a graduate of Marshall University (BA), the Presbyterian School for Christian Education (Master’s in Christian Ed) and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (Masters of Divinity). He has worked in several churches as an ordained minister, as a chaplain in a retirement community, a house-parent and social worker in a home for at-risk youth and was ordained as an elder before entering seminary.
Rob believes and preaches the reformed idea of imperfect people humbled in the light of God’s grace. The primary themes of his preaching are our need to humbly recognize the need for Christ in our lives, allow the Spirit to reform us and recognize the majesty of the Almighty in the everyday. HIs hobbies include binge-watching horrible television shows, riding his motorcycle and playing guitar (which he brings to worship a few times a year). He does get a bit competitive in games of Sorry or Aggravation, and avoids Monopoly whenever possible.
When asked, if he were a tree, what kind of tree he would be, his answer was “shoe.”
